Why release non-violent offenders from jail? Over crowding? Then make larger penitentiaries. For crying out loud, it's getting so extreme anymore that folks say stuff like "if you don't agree with my deal, then you want a war." There are other alternatives, almost always.

In the Bible, it is suggested that ALL sins are equally bad, but only one is unforgivable. I don't believe that all crimes are equally bad, but they all DO deserve penalties. Penalties that are strict enough to deter future crime. And studies show that the majority of prisoners released from jail are repeat offenders.

Charge drug pushers with murder or manslaughter and either put them away for good or execute them. There, no more drugs on the street.
Throw employers in jail if they hire illegals and there will be no illegals because there will be no jobs for them.

Sorry if I don't have any patience with liberals. I get tired of them jumping into the lion's cage, thinking that they are going to reason with him. Babysitting liberals in America is very tiring.
